Broken Love

The Look in your eyes
how saddend they appear
If only you could realize
how much I care for you dear

We once shared the world
& together we had it all
But then one day it came afold
& our relationship was in a fall

Your love was so strong
so imminent and open
My heart was fragile
& scared of being torn

Confused, tattered & alone
needing and wanting protection
I withdrew my heart from your throne
only to be left without devotion

I remember the memories
the moments we shared
the nights in the breeze
and the brilliance you aired

You held me close
while whispering in my ear
& handed me a rose
hoping to keep me near

With the music beating
while leaning up against the bar
you pulled me inward while sitting
& wrapped your arms around like a jar

you questionly asked
yet so divine
and so unmasked

Protection and security
My heart desired
Could this be the proximity
of love to be conspired?

We danced the night away
as drinks passed to our lips
my heart left in disarray
in choices to dismiss


I love you & you love me
It made perfect sense
at least it had seemed
as my heart became intense

Your sensual touch
your showerment of love
it was all so much
as it came from above

Until that fatal night
when sanity was nowhere to be found
your choice was made a fright
as I held on to be the love we had grounded

Flashes ran through my mind
my heart felt this fear
Protection & Security was blind
as the lonliness became near

I stood alone
fearful and afriad
I knew from the tone
my love was betrayed

Although unintentional you stand
harmless & frightened
the fear you left in my hand
was all that was to be destined

Forgive and forget
It's in the past so you say
now my heart left in torment
it's the easy way

Visions of your love
now intertwined with that fear
like a floating dove
my heart disappears

My heart knows no reason
no rational sense of direction
only pure emotions
that protects its devotion

Perhaps wrong or right
I know of nothing else
I follow my heart toward the light
as I pray for my path to purmice

I now carry the memory
of your gentle love
and your passionate identity
close to my heart tight as a glove
This present time
is not an option for me
only time can heal my mind
as my heart is but under key
